Storynory (www.storynory.com) is a literacy website that
uses audiobooks and podcasts to bring stories to life for listeners. This site
was launched in 2005 and provides free content for all users. Although majority
of the audiobooks and content are fiction stories, the site is working toward
adding more nonfiction content such as history and interviews from experts in
different fields. Although some of the podcasts and audiobooks are made from
classic stories such as Jack and the Beanstalk. Storynory also features
their original stories, which are written by the creators of the site. Two of
their most popular original stories are about a character called Katie and a story
titled Astropup.
Every
audiobook that is posted on Storynory is accompanied by the transcript of the
story. This is great because the listener is able to follow along with the
audiobook and hear how the actors/actresses are speaking with expression to
bring the story to life. Another feature of Storynory is that it engages students
in occasional writing competitions. These competitions encourages students to
write stories and send them in, to be converted into an audiobook and featured
on Storynory.
